I agree! It is  great sculpt but the nose needs to go!

I'd love to see the price.


If it's a resin model, I think that nose shield could be easily enough removed.  Not really sure why they'd have put that on anyhow.

This is probably my second favorite right now, though that nose thing really throws me off. If that was removed and the pose was made more dynamic I think it'd be a winner all around.

My biggest complaint about the Cthulhu sculpts popping up over the last few years (with the exception of Fenris' which is by far my favorite sculpt) is that they're all so static in their pose. They all look like some guy starting a squat or something.

Well... Cthulhu was sleeping as we know... what we did not knew was that he had some serious sleep disorder and was using a nose thing to keep his sleep apneia at bay... lol

Odd, I find this sculpt to be quite dramatic.  But I do agree that Fenris one is top notch!!

This one has more movement than most. It's definitely nice to see!

The nose thing has apparently disappeared on the production model:

That's better; now he looks less like a budgie.

Meh, don't like it. The texture looks off and he looks too rubber-suited to me.

I, for one, rather like this iteration of the cosmic menace.

I grew up reading Creepy, Eerie, and Swamp Thing comics along with their kindred comics and media. For me this is a Cthulhu that might dwell on the cover of an older book or in the pages of one of those newsprint nightmares.

Good call Mr.Claw! I quite like it...more so now with the infamous 'nose thing' removed. Great textures, it has a very otherworldly feel to it.

I also like it, my only criticism of the Reaper Bones version was that it lacked texture on the skin for such a large mini (don't get me wrong, I think it's a great model), & this one has improved on it in that sense - it's likely to make make painting a little easier (no large, slightly featureless areas to bring to life).

I really liked the green, but I am not liking that production model.

Maybe it's a bad pic, but it looks clumpy or something.

It does look a bit lumpy but I think it might show up better with some paint on it.

The Claw was right this immediately reminded me of some horror that Wally Wood may have slapped on the cover of Weird Fantasy or some such.
This is my boomstick!
